Hunter, Sorry, You Caught the Wrong Person

As a headless knight, I should know enough to keep up with the times. That was the conclusion I reached after returning from a ride with Sarah. ...Why are so many people staring at me? Do people these days not ride horses anymore? Fine if you don't ride, but don't talk behind people's backs! "Look, that person is still riding a horse..." "They must be some bumpkin from the countryside. Oh, my child, stay away before that horse splashes mud all over you!" "Good heavens, how backward can someone be, still riding a horse?" [...] ...I'm telling you, I can hear all of that! You're calling me old-fashioned, right? Saying I'm behind the times, right? If you don't ride horses, please don't personally insult those who do! What's wrong with riding a horse? How is it bad or backward? TAT I rode Sarah back to my little wooden hut. After dismounting, I looked at her in silence. [...] QAQ <- My expression [= =] <- Sarah's expression A shadow streamed from my index finger, scattering through the air and slowly forming a few symbols. [...Maybe it would be better if Sarah turned into some familiar kind of creature... At least then she could keep up with the times instead of being left behind!] Maybe I was imagining it, but I could clearly make out the words [Speak properly] on Sarah's horse face. orz... [TAT Sarah, hurry up and turn into another animal! It feels so embarrassing to have people talking about me like this!] This is a headless knight who [cares a lot about what others think of him] [often gets distracted and is extremely afraid of ghosts] [is constantly mistaken for some bandit chief, what should he do orz] [and, actually, not every headless knight is expressionless]. [Whenever this symbol appears in the story, it means the protagonist is speaking through shadows. That's how almost the entire story goes.] [Note: A headless knight's head can fall off very easily.] I'll try to follow the original plot as closely as possible.
